Nancy:
You need to go the Verisign web site, find the pages that define the types of
certificates, decide which type you want to use, then follow the instructions
for generating the certificate files.
On completing this process you should have three (3) files like the following
example:
(name).crt => certificate file
(name).key => key file
(name).csr => certificate chain file
(name) is a name of you choosing that matches the URL that apache server
is serving.
You will need to move these files to a folder on the computer on which the
Apache server is running.
You will then need to modify the apache configuration file containing the
virtual host definition to contain the following entries:
SSLEngine On
SSLProtocol All
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
SSLCertificateFile (folder location)/(name).crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile (folder location)/(name).key
SSLCertificateChainFile (folder location)/(name).csr
The final step will be to restart the apache server.
Good Luck.

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verisign signatures with Apache server
This is my first posting. I don't know much about this server, so please be
patient.
My company has an Apache server which is used to send and receive AS2 messages.
The server was set up with a virtual host to allow both inbound and outbound
processing on the same instance.
The server was originally set up with self-signed certificates and is working
fine. However, now we have a requirement from our users to replace with
Verisign certificates. Can the Apache server be set up to use Verisign
certificates? If so, how can this be done?
Thanks for your help!
